> The 3.1 version could be a good candidate, but I have seen a 4.0 version > in the -current tree... Definiately some point along 4.0-CURRENT. Fresh experiemential code, such as supporting Sparc, cannot be 1st introduced into the 3.x branch. Also if you target 3.x, the you will have a hell of a time adding the Sparc bits into 4.x. This is one of the mistakes of the PAO [laptop] code. > Personally I think 4.0 is too young. So 3.1 could be a very interesting > investment. Again, starting from 3.1 you will have an orphaned port that will never be merged into mainline FreeBSD. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
